Many of the inequalities inherited from slavery in Colombia still remain, having an impact on different levels of society. This panel brings together cultural producers from afro-Colombian perspectives to discuss the notions of inequality and invisibility in the context of Colombia’s creative/art sector.
Speakers include RAMIRO CAMELO (Curator at Myymälä2), NICOLÁS VIZCAÍNO SÁNCHEZ (Artist), CARMENZA BANGUERA (Artist) and moderated by WILL FURTADO (Artist, writer and deputy editor at Contemporary And). Interpretation to/from Spanish by MARIA BARRERA.
